Our Surgical Services
Our clinic offers a wide array of pet surgery services, each performed under strict safety protocols and with individualized attention to your pet’s needs:
Soft Tissue Surgery
These procedures include everything from spay and neuter surgeries to mass removals, abdominal surgeries, bladder stone removal, and more. We focus on minimizing discomfort and promoting fast healing.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our orthopedic offerings are designed to restore function and mobility to pets suffering from musculoskeletal conditions. One of our most advanced procedures includes TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery, a specialized treatment for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs.
Pre-Surgical Assessment & Anesthesia
Before any surgery, we conduct a thorough pre-operative exam and bloodwork to ensure your pet is a suitable candidate for anesthesia. We use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment during every procedure to track vital signs in real-time and ensure safety throughout.
Post-Surgical Care & Recovery
After surgery, we provide overnight care with pain management and detailed recovery instructions to keep your pet comfortable and to promote fast healing. Our team remains available to answer your questions and provide follow-up care as needed, 24/7.
Why Pet Surgery Matters
While no one likes to think about their pet needing surgery, it can be critical to treating injuries, managing disease, or improving quality of life. Conditions like ligament tears, tumors, and internal issues often require surgical intervention to prevent pain, infection, or worsening health.
Left untreated, many of these conditions can severely impact your pet’s comfort, mobility, and lifespan. Prompt surgical care ensures the best possible outcome and helps your pet return to an active, happy life.
Pet Surgery FAQs
How should I prepare my pet for surgery?
We’ll provide specific pre-surgery instructions based on your pet’s procedure, but we generally recommend no food after 10 PM the night before surgery. Water is usually allowed up until a few hours before, but we’ll confirm exact timing during your consultation.
Can my pet drink water before surgery?
In most cases, yes — pets can have access to water until the morning of surgery. We will give you clear guidelines based on your pet’s age, size, and the type of anesthesia used.
Is anesthesia safe for my pet?
Modern veterinary anesthesia is very safe, especially when administered by trained professionals. At Crown Veterinary Services, we perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to check organ function and use advanced monitoring equipment during all procedures to minimize risk.
How long will my pet need to stay after surgery?
This depends on the procedure. Some pets can go home the same day, while others, especially those undergoing orthopedic surgeries like TPLO, may require an overnight stay. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Can my pet be around other animals after surgery?
After surgery, we recommend limiting interaction with other pets, especially if play could interfere with healing. Your pet will need rest, restricted activity, and close supervision during recovery.
Will my pet be in pain after surgery?
We prioritize pain management throughout the surgical process. Your pet will receive medication before, during, and after surgery to ensure they remain as comfortable as possible. We’ll also send home pain relief and recovery instructions tailored to their needs.
What should I watch for during recovery?
You’ll receive a complete post-op care guide, but generally, watch for swelling, bleeding, lethargy, or loss of appetite. If anything seems unusual, contact us right away. We’re here to support a smooth recovery.
If your pet has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, or if you’re looking for a second opinion, our team is here to help. We’ll walk you through the process, answer your questions, and create a care plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
